Abstract: | To a hospital administrator, the way in which a Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) and the hospital's social work department can complement each other is not immediately obvious. So when the social work department invited the Brent Mobile CAB to assess the possibilities of a bedside service to inpatients, the idea was greeted with some uncertainty. Graham Coomber, hospital administrator, Central Middlesex Hospital, and Denise Fears, organiser of the Brent Mobile CAB, describe the first three months. |
